[Tim Hogan 浩勤 @TimInHonolulu]

For those who apparently were unaware, the Smoot Halley Tariff Act was considered a principal trigger of the world economic collapse that we call the Great Depression.

[Josh Gondelman @joshgondelman]

This is one of the most heartbreaking pieces of art in American history.

[Seanan McGuire @seananmcguire]

People periodically forget that I grew up in carnivals, worked them unofficially from the time I was tall enough to hold a wrench, and am still informed enough about most operational shows to tell you on sight whether a piece of equipment is unsafe.

[emily may @emilykmay]

the fact that this is a thing women are worried about is terrifying.

My company is suspending use of all @Adobe products until our attorneys have had time to thoroughly review the user agreement changes.

@BWilsonAuthor Oh, yikes! I’m so sorry. Please go easy on your body and be extremely cautious about exercise. Long COVID is not something you want 😰

@Broken_Devotion @gertieok *getting, not trying ☺️

@Broken_Devotion @gertieok If I could, I would. In virtual school my kids never missed a single day sick, and they far exceeded the benchmarks for each grade. They loved the flexibility, not having to waste so much time on school procedures and distractions, and trying to go do so many other amazing things

So yesterday, our cat Inky had what must have been, for his little cat brain, a genuine horror experience.

(he is fine)

First of all, you need to understand that he hates the broom.

[Society of Secret Library Friends @sslibfriends]

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

[Neil Gaiman @neilhimself]

I'm in the Writers Guild of America. I wish this wasn't happening and support it absolutely. When I wake up tomorrow I'll be on strike. (To forestall the inevitable questions, Good Omens 2 is completed and handed in. Although I may not be able to promote it as I had hoped.)

I will take a MOC in shorts over one dressed in expensive clothes and owned by a massive, evil corporation any day

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

This is how 90% of Americans dress 98% of the time. Great to see some real representation. Personally I would have gone with cargo shorts but no one is perfect.

Quinoa 🤣

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

What is a word you are brave enough to admit that you mispronounced for way too long?

Ours may or may not be 'epitome.'

Phew, that feels good to finally say out loud...

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

This is a fucking disgrace.
